such is life 

A phrase used when one tries to find a way to accomplish something that should be relatively easy, and finds the task overbearing due to outside influences.
At that point one might surrender, and choose to accept things as they are. This is NOT the same as giving up and is NOT associated in any way with acts of physical or mental abuse

An analytical or casual thought process used to define one's abililty to understand that some things cannot be changed by the human species, and therefore requires acceptance

casual frustration
I did all the right things, and they didn't work this time. Oh well, There's nothing else I can do. I'll get over it....... such is life........

I wish the flowers would last all year, but I understand that's the way nature works.....such is life.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
